Voprosy Onomastiki

Aims & Scope

Voprosy onomastiki (Problems of Onomastics) publishes original research papers on all aspects of onomastics: theory of proper names and methods of onomastics; lexicography of proper names (presentation of old and new dictionaries); source studies in onomastics; functioning of proper names in different contexts: in dialects and popular language, in folklore and literature, in scientific and administrative discourses; historical studies of anthroponyms and toponyms (including the study of substrate toponymy); onomastics as a cross-road of different disciplines (history, archaeology, ethnology, geography, anthropology, ethnolinguistics, etymology, regional studies, etc.); methods of documentary fieldwork and data processing in onomastics. Preference is generally given to the Slavic, Finno-Ugric, Romance, Germanic, Baltic, Celtic and Turkic languages. However, authors are invited to contribute papers on other languages as well. Additionally, the journal publishes materials of discussions, conference reviews, expedition reports, memoirs on renowned onomatologists, books, journals and dissertation reviews, bibliographies, information on forthcoming scientific events in the field of onomastics.
